Chapter 089: Huda (2)
Two hours ago.
Hu Da wore a royal blue woven gold robe, and Jane went out of the door lightly.
He didn't care about the spies who were following behind him, and when he crossed the street to Jiaolan Lane, he got out of the carriage and walked into the street alone.
At this moment, there were gradually more pedestrians, and when he arrived at the place where the old Yudai old tour used to go into the water, he saw the right time to jump into the boat where the boat was docked on the shore, hid in the cabin and changed his clothes, put on a bronze tiger head mask, Shi Shiran stood on the deck in the wind, and entered the C-shaped room on the third floor of the old Yudai tour.
The blue-robed man in the purple copper unicorn mask inside was lying leisurely on the chaise longue near the window, and when he heard him come in, he pointed to the window and said:
"Look, it's coming!"
The room was windowed on the south side of the river and on the east side of the adjacent shops, the south window was closed, and the east window was mostly obscured by a tall camphor tree.
Huda leaned over the window and looked down, just in time to see the Daye Gambling House with two shops on the east side.
A few days later, a man with a very similar body to him, wearing the same royal blue woven gold robe and wearing a hat, entered the gambling house.
Huda sighed heavily, and his voice was sad:
"Think twice, he is my cousin after all, and I want to watch him go like this......"
The man in the bronze unicorn mask ignored his words, looked at the amber wine in the jade cup in his hand, took a shallow sip, and sighed pleasantly. About a quarter of an hour later, the window on the side of the street was opened, followed by a commotion, and when a few people who often followed the appearance ran out into the street, Sansi, who was wearing a royal blue woven gold robe, was pushed out of the window and fell to the ground with a bloody face.
While there was still a commotion on the front street, a gray figure jumped silently into the boat waiting under the back window of the waterfront window on the first floor of the gambling house, and the boat swung several feet away and quickly headed for the middle of the river.
There was a man in black sitting in the cabin, and when he saw the man in gray on board, he took out a green leather bag behind him and said:
"This is the entanglement that the Lord has prepared for you, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and before anyone finds out about it, you should leave Kyoto by boat."
The man in gray took the burden with great gratitude, and sat down in the cabin.
At this time, the boat leaned slightly towards the shore, and the man in black said goodbye to the man in gray, and only threw a sharp look at the captain who was holding the boat before going ashore.
After a few ripples of water on the side of the ship, it calmed down as if nothing had happened.
When Huda saw all this, his hair stood up all over his body, his vest was soaked with sweat, his feet trembled, and he fell to the ground.
The blue-robed man in the purple copper unicorn mask chuckled lightly, and handed the other jade cup full of wine on the incense table in front of him to Hu Dadao:
"Congratulations, Hu Shilang, you are completely out of danger at this point."
Huda instinctively resisted the glass handed to him, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he took it with a trembling hand.
The blue-robed man got up, seemed to be in a very happy mood, and stepped back after entering the cubicle for a while, with an identical copper unicorn mask in his hand.
"The old lord is benevolent and righteous, giving you a new identity."
The blue-robed man handed the bronze unicorn mask to Hu Da, and when he saw that he was trembling all over his body and didn't dare to take it, he rudely took off the bronze tiger head mask on Hu Da's head and covered the copper unicorn mask on his face.
The blue-robed man tapped his fingertips on the same unicorn mask on his face and smiled: "In the future, I will use the dragon head mask of the old master, and you will replace my identity." As for this tiger head mask", the man in the green robe picked up the tiger head mask and looked at it, "Just give it to the people who come to see us tonight." ”
Hu Da changed his position tremblingly, tightened the unicorn mask on his face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"Thank you for the old master's rescue, and your subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of the old master."
The blue-robed man seemed to be very satisfied with his reaction, leaned down and patted the mask on his face and smiled:
"You are already a dead man, don't go out in the future, stay here obediently, the glory, wealth, wine and beauty should be supplied, and you will not be given half a point less than what you should enjoy."
There was a faint sound of cheers in the distant streets, mixed with high-pitched joyful male voices floating in:
"Dongshanling victory!"
As the sound faded away, there were gradually firecrackers lit by people in the streets and alleys, and in the crackling sound one after another, Hu Da sat down on the ground dejectedly, no longer having half of his strength.
The green-robed man glanced at him again, and there was already a bit of anger in his voice:
"Be in good spirits and don't show your feet tonight."
After saying that, he walked towards the door, and Hu Da suddenly stepped forward on his knees, hugged the leg of the man in the green robe, and begged mournfully:
"My aunt, can the master keep her alive? She really didn't know anything, and even if she was arraigned, she wouldn't be of much use. ”
The man in the green robe pointed to the direction of the Daye Gambling House outside the east window and said:
"You see, Yin of Shuntian Mansion and Shen Chi of the Criminal Department are here, they are all good at Xing lawsuits, and they are used to Guanyin distinguishing colors. If they show your aunt to identify the corpse, will she show her feet? At that time, wasn't it in vain that we Li Dai Taozhuang's all-round preparations? ”
After another silence, the blue-robed man hesitated slightly and said:
"As early as the beginning of today's plan, Mama Hu ...... Your aunt has been ordered by the old lord to deal with it - mourn, don't miss tonight. ”
******************
The title of Duke of the East China Sea has been passed to the hands of the fifth generation of the East China Sea Hongmeng since the late years of Taizu.
Hai Hongmeng has passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven and has two sons under his knees, of which the eldest son Hai Liang was born to a concubine, and the second son Hai Qian is his wife and inherits the title of viscount of the East China Sea.
Because Shizi Haiqian has just turned 14 years old this year, and he is born with a love of dancing and writing, he has no interest in the art of war. Hai Hongmeng couldn't, so he had to invite Xi Shizi, a famous teacher in the literary world, hoping that if he could pass the imperial examination and enter the office, he could still shine on the lintel.
Although the eldest son Hai Liang was from a bad background, he inherited the military blood of the Hai family, and he was exposed to Haihong since he was a child, and he was well versed in the way of using soldiers.
As a result, the daily military affairs of the Tanglin Guard under the jurisdiction of the Duke of the East China Sea were handed over to Hailiang. This time, the Tanglin Weili Ke Tulun raid, and the good news of beheading more than 2,000 enemies was delivered to Kyoto by Hailiang himself.
On the Imperial Palace.
Yuan Zheng looked at Hai Liang who was kneeling under the jade ladder Danqi, and saw that he was thirty years old, with a square face and broad ears, a strong and straight figure, and dark and firm skin that was exposed.
Therefore, even if Yuan Zheng was very puzzled by this sudden good news, he calmed his mind and slowly asked Hai Liang:
"Yesterday, I just received an urgent war report that I was defeated in a battle and asked for help from Kyoto, how can I have a great victory report today?"
Hai Liang raised his head ignorantly, and kowtowed with a confused face:
"The emperor forgives his sins, but his subordinates are stupid, I don't know what battle was reported to Beijing yesterday?"
Yuan Zheng smiled and motioned to Zhang Ping, who was with him, to take the feather in hand to Hai Liang.
After Hai Liang took it, he checked it repeatedly, and even checked the seal with the seal and fire paint, and the look of confusion on his face was even worse, so he had to kowtow to Yuan Zheng again:
"This letter is indeed from the Tanglin Guard, and there is nothing wrong with the method of sealing it with seals and fire paint, but ...... However, his subordinates did not send out such a battle report, and a few days ago, Dongshanling was indeed attacked by a small group of Tulun cavalry, and the Tanglin Guard soon ended the battle, beheading more than 2,000 enemies. ”
